Bridgestone Turanza LS100 RFT 245/40R18, All Season, Touring tires.

Features and Benefits: Year-round traction; Upgraded controllability; Run flat tire model; Comfortable performance; Bridgestone Turanza LS100 RFT TiresThe Bridgestone Turanza LS100 RFT is a touring, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. Exceptional controllability and handling are promoted with this tire. The ribbed tread pattern closely follows the road surface, offering better steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, the tire's steering response time is quicker and more accurate to the driver's commands. Additionally, the structure is secured against driving pressure. At the same time, the wide shoulder blocks and their close road contact boost the tire's cornering and maneuvering. The special siping details also shorten the braking distance by creating friction while stopping. As a result, the driver has full control over the vehicle and guarantees a safe driving experience. The model offers a safe driving experience, thanks to the run flat technology. The reinforced internal structure enables the tire to be driven for 50 miles up to 50 mph after air pressure loss. This limited, temporary performance enables the vehicle to arrive at a nearby location where the tire can be fixed or changed. Run flat tires should not be mixed with regular tires on the same vehicle at the same time. All season performance is ensured with this tire. The ribbed tread pattern and the all season compound improve the tire's performance in dry, wet, and winter-weather conditions. The optimized tread elements increase the number of biting edges during the performance, while the special silica compound keeps the rubber flexible in changing temperatures. On the other hand, the optimized grooves effectively resist hydroplaning, by eliminating water and slush from the footprint. The Bridgestone Turanza LS100 RFT boosts its driving comfort levels. The ideal tread design and its close contact with the driving surface reduce road and tread noise levels heard while the tires are in motion. This ribbed tread pattern creates a sound frequency that negates sound waves heard during the performance. As a result, the passengers can enjoy a quiet ride. This tire model was manufactured as the original equipment tire of select Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
